[RC] Gaited horses - cathryn whitaker

I had a Missouri Fox-Trotter as a teenager and knew nothing about endurance riding at the time.  I usually rode alone though and now realize we mostly did what I do now.  She was an incredible horse.  She could slow-gait and fast-gait(forgive me MFT people if I call these the wrong thing).  She could also trot and had the best canter I have ever ridden.  I love my Arab but as my back gets older, I have toyed with the thought of getting another Fox-Trotter.  She seemed to never tire.  As I recall also, when I rode with friends, she was the last to "lather up"  There is a lot of talk about the Kentucky Mountain Horse also being gaited and well-suited to our sport.  I think there could be plenty of options in the gaited horse for those who want a little different ride.  Just my ponderings.  Cathryn Whitaker
